1 00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:03.500 I'm going to share a little secret that I've learned with all the Brokers that 2 00:00:03.500 --> 00:00:04.400 are in the room today. 3 00:00:05.300 --> 00:00:08.300 That secret is you are very important. 4 00:00:09.200 --> 00:00:12.400 You're important to the clients your important to the lenders and funders 5 00:00:12.400 --> 00:00:15.200 and I know this because 90% of the 6 00:00:15.200 --> 00:00:18.400 conversations I have every day are with other the 7 00:00:18.400 --> 00:00:21.400 other people in this room asking me how to sign you 8 00:00:21.400 --> 00:00:21.400 up. 9 00:00:23.200 --> 00:00:26.200 They love you. They want to know how you do it. Why you do it? How 10 00:00:26.200 --> 00:00:26.900 much of it you can do? 11 00:00:28.100 --> 00:00:29.300 They're obsessed with brokers. 12 00:00:30.300 --> 00:00:33.800 And so much of the industry relies on you when 13 00:00:33.800 --> 00:00:36.300 we talk about regulation. Everyone's worried about what the 14 00:00:36.300 --> 00:00:38.700 Brokers are going to do when we talk about best practices. 15 00:00:39.900 --> 00:00:40.600 Brokers again 16 00:00:42.300 --> 00:00:45.800 when we talk about hitting targets and volume and originations and consultative selling 17 00:00:45.800 --> 00:00:48.300 relationships and storytelling man. We're 18 00:00:48.300 --> 00:00:50.600 talking about the Brokers again. It's pretty much all the brokers. 19 00:00:51.500 --> 00:00:54.700 The Lion's Share of responsibility and good 20 00:00:54.700 --> 00:00:57.300 business ethics ultimately relies on 21 00:00:57.300 --> 00:01:00.700 you. So every Merchant you speak with whether they 22 00:01:00.700 --> 00:01:04.000 work with you or not will form an opinion about 23 00:01:03.400 --> 00:01:04.900 the industry. 24 00:01:05.900 --> 00:01:09.100 They'll tell ten friends about you and judge 25 00:01:08.100 --> 00:01:11.500 every other person sitting here. So think 26 00:01:11.500 --> 00:01:14.500 about that we all have an impact and all 27 00:01:14.500 --> 00:01:16.200 the Brokers have an impact on everyone else.
